College Basketball History To Be Made Tonight As Robert Morris Hosts Geneva.
(Moon Township) For the first time ever, two local institutions of higher learning, who both have very rich traditions in basketball, will play each other on the hardwood. The Geneva College Golden Tornadoes will travel to the brand new UPMC Events Center on the nearby campus of Robert Morris University in Moon Township for a non conference game later tonight. WBVP, WMBA and 99.3 F.M. will carry the game broadcast anchored by veteran broadcaster and member of the Beaver County Sports Hall of Fame, Chris Shovlin. The Robert Morris Colonials compete in NCAA division 1 and have made eight appearances in the NCAA national tournament, winning a couple of early round games through the years. Geneva College competes in NCAA division 3, and for their part, has a program with many accolades as well. Most notably, Geneva can lay claim to being the birthplace of college basketball, when they played their first game against the New Brighton YMCA in April of 1893.
Tune in this evening as two local, storied college basketball teams, just 29 miles apart, with a great deal of history and tradition on either side, play each other for the first time . Pregame with Chris Shovlin and Jim Elias from the Robert Morris Colonials network on 1230 WBVP, 1460 WMBA and 99.3 F.M. is at 6:45 P.M.
